Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted at Horticultural Research cum Instructional Farm, Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya, Raipur (C.G.) during Rabi season 2022-23 and 2023-24. A randomized block design with three replications was used to set up this experiment. Eleven treatments combination of FYM and vermicompost @ 1 q/ha and three biofertilizers i.e. Rhizobium, PSB and Azotobacter @ 500 ml/ha and 1 l/ha through enrichment and soil application technique, including control (without organic manures, inorganics and bio-fertilizers) had laid out. The experiment were comprised of twelve treatment i.e., 100% RDF, organic manures sole and biofertilizers and organic manures in different combination were made. According to the study, garden pea result revealed that the growth parameters, yield and yield contributing characters were increased significantly due to application of inorganic, organic and biofertilizers. The maximum plant height (cm), number of branches per plant, root length (cm), days to initiation flowering, days to marketable maturity, number of pods per plant, pod length (cm), green pod yield per plant (g), green pod yield per hectare (q/ha) and 100 seed weight (g) were all found to be superior when 100 percent RDF was applied, followed by enriched vermicompost (1 q VC and 1 l Rhizobium, PSB and Azotobacter culture) while the maximum number of nodules recorded with the enriched vermicompost (1 q VC and 1 l Rhizobium, PSB and Azotobacter culture). Minimum growth, yield and yield contributing characters were recorded with the control (T0).
